Leftist comedy died a while ago. All that’s left is mockery and rage. The two poles of the humorless ideological id.
Jimmy Kimmel: A year ago, I would’ve said I’m hoping to show people who aren’t paying attention to the news what’s actually going on, and hoping to change things that way. Obviously, that didn’t have enough impact before the election, so now I see myself more as a place to scream.
No late night host has been more of a chameleon than Kimmel. In an industry of phonies, Kimmel deserves his own star having reinvented himself from the Man Show era to Mr. Woke. It’s all fake, but it also means Kimmel has a pretty good sense of what his audience wants and adapts to it. He went from the era of ironic, offensive and rough-and-tumble comedy to the Jon Stewart era in which hosts hold forth about how ridiculous conservatives are and how the existence of non-liberals hurts their precious feelings.
Kimmel was never funny, but he knows what the small stable of idiots watching him want. Right now they want to ‘scream’ like a View session.
Even the shell of comedy has cracked. Underneath the mockery and the contempt, there’s a great big primal scream.
And that scream was what was always under there.
You have Kimmel and Stewart pegged. They both play to their audiences. They’re both phonies.
Too bad. Kimmel’s buddy, Adan Corolla, is a good guy.
What is terrifying is that they have an audience at all.
Before President Trump was elected I found Jimmy Kimmel to be pleasantly funny. I used to watch his opening monologue because it wasn’t mean spirited like let’s say David Letterman was. His humor back then was a gentle kind of humor.
His sketches with children were the best part of his show especially the Halloween prank where parents would send in videos of their children’s reactions when the parents would tell their kids they ate all of their Halloween candy. You can find them on Youtube.
But immediately following President Trump’s election in 2016 he became something else altogether. Totally rabid with TDS. That’s when I stopped watching him.
Unpredictability is one of the essences of comedy. Kimmel is utterly predictable, night after night, week after week, month after month, and year after year. His one job is to be funny and he’s not.
People like to sit down before bed and put on a show and escape for a little bit from the grind of the day and a laugh at REAL HUMOR and enjoy themselves. Not listen to prima donna like Kimmel spoon feed you leftist Do Do and garbage. My God…
You can find old TV skits with Sid Caesar and Imogene Coca on YouTube. Get a whiff of really funny comedy.
